< Job 2 >
1 And the day is, that sons of God come to station themselves by YHWH, and there also comes Satan in their midst to station himself by YHWH.
He ra ano ka haere mai nga tama a te Atua, kia tu i te aroaro o Ihowa. A ka haere mai hoki a Hatana i roto i a ratou ki te aroaro o Ihowa tu ai.
2 And YHWH says to Satan, “From where have you come?” And Satan answers YHWH and says, “From going to and fro in the land, and from walking up and down in it.”
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hatana, i haere mai koe i hea? Ano ra ko Hatana ki a Ihowa, I te kopikopiko, i te haereere i te whenua.
3 And YHWH says to Satan, “Have you set your heart to My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God and turning aside from evil? And still he is keeping hold on his integrity, and you move Me against him to swallow him up for nothing!”
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hatana, Kua mahara ranei tou ngakau ki taku tangata, ki a Hopa? kahore he rite mona i te whenua, he tangata ngakau tapatahi, he tika, e wehi ana i te Atua, e mawehe ana i te kino; u tonu ano hoki tona tapatahitanga, ahakoa e whakaoho ana koe i ahau ki te he mona, kia whakangaromia noatia ia.
4 And Satan answers YHWH and says, “A skin for a skin, and all that a man has he gives for his life.
Na ka utua e Hatana ta Ihowa, ka mea ia, He kiri mo te kiri; ae ra, ko nga mea katoa hoki a te tangata ka hoatu hei utu mona kia ora.
5 Yet, put forth Your hand now, and strike to his bone and to his flesh—if not, he blesses You to Your face!”
Engari kia totoro atu tou ringa, kia pa ki tona wheua, ki ona kikokiko, ina, ka kanga ia i a koe ki tou aroaro.
6 And YHWH says to Satan, “Behold, he [is] in your hand; only take care of his life.”
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hatana, Nana, kei tou ringa ia: otiia kia tupato kei mate rawa ia.
7 And Satan goes forth from the presence of YHWH, and strikes Job with a severe ulcer from the sole of his foot to his crown.
Heoi ka haere atu a Hatana i te aroaro o Ihowa; patua iho e ia a Hopa ki te whewhe kino i te kapu o tona waewae, a tae noa ki tona tumuaki.
8 And he takes to him a potsherd to scrape himself with it, and he is sitting in the midst of the ashes.
Na ka mau ia ki tetahi maramara rihi hei waru i a ia, a noho ana i roto i te pungarehu.
9 And his wife says to him, “You are still keeping hold on your integrity: bless God and die.”
Katahi tana wahine ka mea ki a ia, ka u tonu koia koe ki tou tapatahitanga? kanga te Atua, ka mate ai.
10 And he says to her, “As one of the foolish women speaks, you speak; indeed, do we receive the good from God, and we do not receive the bad?” In all this Job has not sinned with his lips.
Ano ra ko ia ki a ia, Rite tonu to kupu ki te kupu a tetahi o nga wahine kuware. Ha! kia whiwhi tatou ki te pai i te Atua, a kia kaua e whiwhi ki te kino? I tenei katoa kihai i hara nga ngutu o Hopa.
11 And three of the friends of Job hear of all this evil that has come on him, and they each come in from his place—Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite—and they have met together to come to bemoan him, and to comfort him;
Na, i te rongonga o nga hoa tokotoru o Hopa ki tenei aitua katoa i pa nei ki a ia, ka haere mai ratou i tona wahi, i tona wahi, a Eripata Temani, a Pirirara Huhi, a Topara Naamati: he mea whakarite hoki na ratou ki a ratou ano kia haere mai ki t e tangi ki a ia, ki te whakamarie i a ia.
12 and they lift up their eyes from afar and have not discerned him, and they lift up their voice and weep, and each tears his robe, and sprinkle dust on their heads—heavenward.
Na, i te marangatanga o o ratou kanohi i tawhiti, a kihai ratou i mohio ki a ia, na kua ara to ratou reo, tangi ana; haea ana tona koroka, tona koroka, ruia iho e ratou he puehu ki runga ki o ratou mahunga, he mea akiri atu whaka te rangi.
13 And they sit with him on the earth seven days and seven nights, and there is none speaking to him a word when they have seen that the pain has been very great.
Heoi noho ana ratou i tona taha ki te whenua, e whitu nga ra, e whitu nga po, kihai hoki i puaki he kupu a tetahi ki a ia: i kite hoki ratou he nui rawa tona pouri.
